L1, L2 Visa

Hi

The weather was extremely hot and I had been to Chennai with my wife and 2 year old since they were applying for L2.

OFC on 16th

Appointment was at 2PM. We started from our Hotel at 1 reached the place by 1:55 and the security guy let us in. Went through a couple points where they verified the documents below.
1. Passport - Original (All 3 of us)
2. DS 160 - Confirmation page
3. Fees Paid Receipt
4. Appointment Confirmation letter

The whole process took 25 minutes and we were out.

Consulate Interview on 17th
The appointment was at 9AM, we reached by 8:20. There was a queue in front of us with about 20 people on the road. But it was moving in fast and we got in within 10 minutes. Went through several points of document verification and finally we entered the main building in 10 minutes after entering the gate.

There was a long queue of about 25 people but someone called for L1b blanket and asked us to break the line and come in. They helped to arrange I-129S and I-797 forms along with DD, Passport and DS 160. Thats all what they needed.

Since my 2 year old was with us, I was asked to break the line and go in front for 2 more counters. 1 where they give the receipt for the fees.

Finally they took us to the officer. He asked me just 4 questions to which I answered boldly and with confidence.

1, Which company do you work for
2. Since how long - (2.8 years)
3. Designation
4. Specialization
5. How did you gain this specialization within 2.8 years that they wanted you in the US.
6. Salary in the US.

He was typing all the while except for question# 5 and then after a minutes he said "I am approving your Visa and returned 2 copies of I-129S and said one will be send to the HR of your company ". He kept 1 copy and our passports. We thanked him and left.

The whole process took 35 minutes from the gates.

But now when i check the status shows Administrative Processing. Can anyone suggest what could be the reason.

Thanks.
